What about a bad cam sensor?  I thought if the cam sensor was bad then the computer would "guess" at when to fire the injectors and if wrong by 180 degrees then this would increase cranking times.  Repeated start attempts would eventually lead to the computer guessing correctly and everything working as it should.
